English abstract
Tongue angioedema is a well-recognized side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitor particularly during the first few months of initiation. Unilateral tongue
involvement is rarely encountered. We report the case of a 78-year-old woman who
presented with unilateral right side tongue angioedema, which occurred after two years of
lisinopril use. She did not have any respiratory distress and her symptoms had completely
resolved after twelve hours of observation. Lisinopril was discontinued and no recurrence
of angioedema was reported.
